Parkinson’s Disease: How to Fight Back Against This Disorder!
by Mindy Hudon, M.S., CCC-SLP

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that causes tremors, stiffness in movement, speech and voice issues. About 10 million people worldwide are diagnosed with this condition. Research has revealed that movement therapy, like Rock Steady Boxing, can alleviate symptoms. The National Parkinson Foundation states that rigorous exercise can improve:

gait

balance

tremor

flexibility

grip strength

motor coordination

Talk to your doctor. This form of exercise is about more than just looking good - it’s about fighting back!

Me too! Kick boxing and martial arts! Love it! My friend actually started the Rock Steady New England and recently he is working with Richard Gringras (professional boxer) on the Parkinson's Place in Pawtucket, RI.
